A Letter to the Friends Who Have Left

If I’m being honest with myself, this was seen coming for a long time. I’ve spent a lot of time contemplating the different reasons, you know wondering what I could’ve done different to make you stay. Until I realised it didn’t matter what I did, as you grow older you become different people with different interests. There were so many promises we made, we were going to grow old together and see each other with with old grey hair, don’t you remember? Oh and don’t forget the “as if anyone could seperate us”? I must be the only one remembers that, perhaps it was all in my mind like the rest of our friendship… maybe even our memories. Nothing feels real anymore, can you blame me? I cried in those arms that I once found peace, but now all that welcome me is a halfhearted smile with a look that screams I’ve overstayed my welcome.

Someone once told me when they departed, “You don’t need me anymore, you have others looking for you.” You don’t stay friends with someone because you need them, you want to be friends with someone because you love them, because you appreciate their presence and value them as a person. It’s not about meeting new people, because they’re not you. It’s as though these memories aren’t even ours anymore because it’s so hard to believe that a time so beautiful even existed when it’s so foreign now.

Regardless, I found love in your arms once upon a time, I made so many mistakes by your side and you always saw me through. You helped me learn from all the bad times, become my crutches and helped me stand back up. You let me cry in your arms when I had no one else to turn to, you gave me a reason to live when I lost all of them. So here I am, at the end of this terribly long letters and I’m sorry, I always wrote very long paragraphs, but thank you for shaping me into who I am today.

Love always,

S.
